Pushkin. Why
0:20
can't we feed the world? Is it
0:23
possible to cure cancer? What will
0:25
it take for governments and citizens
0:27
to commit to act on climate change? Why
0:29
haven't we solved the issue of equal pay
0:31
for equal work? Why are so many people
0:34
trapped in work that doesn't be in
0:36
one of the world's richest countries. It's
0:38
hard to believe that over a billion people are living
0:41
without electricity. Why haven't we
0:43
solved that already? Yes, there
0:45
are so many overwhelming
0:47
questions, but also so
0:50
many inspiring answers. My
0:54
solvable is to take energy to where
0:56
communities are. We are not going
0:58
to solve poverty in the twenty
1:00
first century if we don't solve energy
1:03
poverty. My solvable
1:05
is to get one million women and girls to
1:07
learn how to code by the year. My
1:10
solvable is where homelessness
1:13
becomes something that is rare
1:15
and is resolved as soon as someone
1:18
experiences it. My solvable
1:20
is that refugees and displaced people
1:23
should have poverty rates, inequality
1:26
rates, lack of opportunity no greater
1:29
than the rest of the population. I'm

Do you know what you've done at
2:01
the time, I knew what we had done
2:03
in terms of cancer, We had broken
2:06
over cancer research. I didn't
2:08
know what else we've done. HIV
2:11
hadn't been discovered. I didn't know we had set
2:13
up the understanding of HIV. Jacob

all the challenges and all the difficulty, you
